“Cute place and the food came out quick. Excited to come back over the summer to sit outside on the patio. Tacos were decent but I’m hopeful they will be a little less dry during the next visit! Drinks are tasty.”

“Best Vegan Food in Chicago! So many non vegan items too for the ones who are not vegan. I dine here often. Friendly staff and great sexy atmosphere! Delicious!”

“First time dining. The food flavor profile for all the dishes was excellent. The lamb shank was tender, falling off the bone. Try the jamaica Palmer for a different take on the traditional Arnold Palmer. The Ribs were also tender but lacked that texture of eating them from the bone because of the tenderness. Only in my opinion. they are just a bit overpriced for just a half slab and corn. All in all, it was still an excellent meal and service. It's definitely a must visit.”

“Walking into the place, it reminded me of visiting my mom's house, as the smell of Puerto Rican food could not be denied. Looking at the menu, I saw so many twists on classic American staples. My friend and I decided to go classic with …”

“As a native Puerto Rican I was excited to go here. It wasnt super happy w my visit. Upon getting there parking was challenging and it was not a busy time of the day. Then we get there and there are tons of signs on the door of “we don’t do this or that, etc.” which I found to be tacky. 1 sign I get, but so many. Not a good first impression. Then service was not the best. The waiter although nice didn’t know much about the menu. We had to constantly ask for things multiple times to finally get them (salt, napkins, silverware, etc). I asked the waiter if he certain things had pork bc I dont eat pork or raw onions (allergic)and was told no and both pork and raw onions were on one of my dish. I ordered a sampler and it didnt have all the items described on the menu. Ordered a few other appetizers, he completely forgot to bring them to us. Then the main dish I ordered was chicken pinchos which are always made w chicken breast, well these were made with drum sticks which I was disappointed bc it should of said that on the menu. My friend had shrimp and the Shrimp had an odd taste like if they were old Shrimp and they were rubbery. Was the food flavorful? Yes. Was service good? Nope. There was a collection of too many little issues that just made my visit unpleasant. These dishes felt like a non-Puerto Rican that has no clue of what authentic PR food is like, trying to sell PR food. Waiter was polite and decor was nice but Would I return here? Absolutely not.”

“The food was out of this world and the karaoke was the best. With both Spanish and English singing options, everyone has a good time. Bring your A game, the patrons put on quite a show! Friendly staff and customers, I had a great time!”

“I just walked in the door and I am impressed. Then I looked at the menu and was blown away. How long has this been here. The breakfast choices. The prices all pleasing. Peeked the dessert and dinner menu. The bar. Need to come back for lunch, brunch and dinner. Foods coming, hold on... I chose the avocado toast with fruit and treated myself to a mimosa. Everything here is top shelf. Except their prices. Think I'll have another mimosa.”

“Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Back of the Yards. The food is authentic, fairly priced, and delicious! The staff is friendly and I will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you La Cecina!!”

“It was my first time in Cebu restaurant, I really was hoping to interact with someone who can speak Visayan since the restaurants name is derived from the Queen City of the South, Cebu, but I was disappointed, lol... I tried the kinilaw, which had a spin, they added an espuma (foam) to the dish, I find it clever but would have been better if the fish was already marinated in calamansi with some vinegar to absorp its flavor instead of tasting the "fishy" taste of the fish. Their Tocino pork belly was good and serving is good for 2 for just under $20! Their drink choices are awesome but only got to try the coffee with ube foam, taste ok. Their Halo halo is a must try, I love how they spread it out in a bowl and added ube flavoring to the shaved ice. Though the inside is clean, the front of the store would probably benefit from a make over since it was vandalized. I will still go back to this place soon if ever Im in Chicago...btw, parking offstreet is free!”

“Perfect date night restaurant. We got the tropical ceviche, a side of sweet plantains and guava BBQ ribs. 10/10 recommend. Great atmosphere and music. It looks like they have a happy hour menu from 3-5pm. We will definitely come back for cocktails and more food!”

“Tacos bigger than standard tiny Mexico tacos. The price is a bit much for the amount IMO. Tortillas don't fall apart. I like that. Meat could be more tender. Tinga is super juicy. Chairs might hurt your butt after a while. Big tables for 6 people. Order at counter and pick up your food. (But there's still a tip option when you order)”

“I had a truly amazing experience! The service was great, the staff was super friendly and all the food came out super fast. The portions were more than generous and the quality of ingredients was top notch. The restaurant itself was great too with good music! I would recommend to anybody in the area looking to have a great eating experience. As a bonus we were lucky to meet Lulu (the owner 😊).”

“Another gem in Pilsen. This place has a great vibe and a lovely ambience. The service is quick and the food has tantalizing Mexican flavors. Got their Camarones Diabolicos and paired it with Maria Candelaria Mezcal with Guac on the side. Shrimps are spicy but not diabolically hot if you have average tolerance for spice. Does taste delicious with rice. An entree + side + drink here would be in the $35-$45 range which I'd say is a regular dinner portion.”

“Taco dinner was perfect. Nice people. Their red salsa was smokey & delicious. It's a small place and very relaxed.”

“The food was okay i ordered shrimp in butter sauce but got the same sauce my girl friend got with her shrimp a la diabla. Her shrimp were peeled mine were whole which i was aware of but they were not deveined.”

“I heard food was awesome and recommended for my office party! I was disappointed! I ordered steak tacos which were very dry, possibly overcooked or reheated from previously cooking earlier in day, adding cheese to tacos added more money! The menu is in Spanish I speak English and the cashier was polite but not overly friendly! The other staff didn’t bother to speak, as she looked me in the face! I told the young lady my coworkers wanted to cater a party and I was sent to check out food, no menus available and they were nice enough to direct me to website with questions! Still looking for ambience, quality of food with great customer service, don’t suggest this place! Authentic Mexican food was very nice to see the difference in preparation! 5 stars for a pretty taco if the meat had not been so dry it could have made up for the cheese I payed extra for but not the lack of friendliness in that space”

“I recently dined at this food restaurant.The service was top-notch with attentive and friendly staff. I've ever had bursting with authentic flavors and made with fresh ingredients. From the rich and flavorful tacos, burrito to the mouthwatering cheese Quesadilla every dish was a delight for the taste buds. If you're a foodie this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.”
